Question - TVMW5 BBS - Insert clip between other clips No.68358
Vigilante  2014-03-13 03:14:24 ( ID:tvhkdl5rpt2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

TMPGEnc Video Mastering works really great, except I cannot seem to do one thing: I have a long timeline with amy clips on it and now I want to insert a clip in the middle of this timeline. When I drop a clip there, it overlaps the clips already in that location. Is it possible to move all other clips forward so I can insert a new clip in the middle of the timeline?


tkrave  2014-03-18 03:34:34 ( ID:resxbfmz4s2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You have to manually move all the clips after the point where you want to insert the clip. Select the first clip you want to move then move to the end of the timeline and shift+click the last clip to select all clips in between.
Zooming out so you can see more clips at a time will help.



Question - TVMW5 BBS - Large monitor while in timeline No.68338
WS  2014-03-07 09:17:37 ( ID:tly7svlo6kn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have two large displays. When I am in timeline mode, I would like the editing monitor on one display, the time line itself and other parts on another, so I can get a nearly full-sized monitor.

I can "stretch" the TMPG window to cover both displays, but this doesn't result in a larger monitor as it is height constrained - really what I want to do is reorganize the subwindows inside TMPG to have the TMPG monitor to the 'left' of the timeline.

Is there a way to do this?



Question - TAW5 BBS - Can I import an interactive menu created by a different tool? No.68334
Amby  2014-03-03 14:35:07 ( ID:immvafmg7ur )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have an interactive Blu-Ray menu that was created with Nero Video 12 that I quite like, and I'd like to be able to import into an Authoring Works 5 Blu-Ray project. I wish it to act as the main interactive menu of the TAW5 project.

I've extracted/exported the menu to a separate file, which I successfully added to the TAW5 project. However, I don't know how to make it serve as the interactive main title menu. Can this be done? If so, how?

Thanks!



Question - TVMW5 BBS - Intel SDK setting No.68330
Chris  2014-03-02 03:11:18 ( ID:vm4fw3hrfdc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Are there any settings or drivers needed to be tweaked to get the Intel media sdk options working? Or does it just work out of the box. I just bought a new 4770k and fired it up, but don't really notice a huge speed difference. Any advice?

Chris


Chris  Home )  2014-03-02 03:33:07 ( ID:vm4fw3hrfdc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Ok, I take it back. I did a comparison with the old computer and it's at least 2x as fast. Same clip, same encode settings. 8:30 clip time, old computer 21:00, new computer 10:30

now to compare the image quality

Chris

hi, the faster computer wont have any effect on your quality, the quality is determined by the software.

what was your old pc, what cpu was in it, because your new pc is twice as fast in terms of time, but the 4770k has an onboard graphics chip (intel HD4600) which is a very good chip, and if you were using intel quicksync to encode, it will be pretty fast over cpu based encoding.

im not sure what tmpge uses by default, i just let my editing pc (3770 cpu) run the encode, but my cpu doing a 1080/50p m2ts file to mpeg2 runs at about 70% so it must be using cpu based encoding, if my HD4000 graphics was running in quick sync mode, the cpu will not be working very hard, and my speed to encode will be a lot faster.

having said that, my regular software is Video ReDo, and until the next major release, it only does cpu based encoding.

I found if install "CCleaner 4" before "TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5" , might cause that the CD-ROM could not read the disk properly .
Try reinstall CCleaner might help .



Question - TVMW5 BBS - lossless video No.68321
riggin49  2014-02-24 20:55:03 ( ID:7zzami6hjsk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi .I have dvds recorded from vcr tapes
what I want to do is just take the 2 dvds and use tvm5 to put both together and create one file with out losing any of the quality
Ive read they both need to be converted into lossless files ..
so to my question how is that done in tvm5 ?
so far everything ive tried comes out bad quality and very very pixely

once files are created I burn onto blu ray with authoring works 5

thanks


tkrave  2014-02-25 10:16:25 ( ID:resxbfmz4s2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

TVMW5 will always re-encode your videos, so you shouldn't use it if you want to keep your files as-is.

You can just import them into TAW5 since it can losslessly output your files. Since DVD is supported by the Blu-ray format, they will not be re-rendered.


glenpinn  2014-03-12 18:31:51 ( ID:emkgnpycif2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

hi, you seem to be getting very confused here.

your videos are in dvd format, so you cannot improve on what they are now, so what you need to do is mux the 2 individual dvd's into 2 mpeg2 files on your hdd, and im sure TMW5 can do this, it used to do it a few years ago in an older version.

you then import the 2 mpeg2 files into TMW5 or the TMPGE mpeg editor, and mux both files together as a single mpeg2 file, without it being re-encoded, but you cant join them together in a lossless format, and even if you could, you cant improve the quality of the video, especially tht your dvd's were created from vhs tapes anyway.

when you say you will burn them to bluray disc, will you be retaining them in the dvd format (standard definition) or do you want to convert them to bluray format (would totally kill your videos if you did that)

cheers



Question - TAW5 BBS - Why does it re-encode clips marked as SR? No.68320
KevinM  2014-02-23 05:37:01 ( ID:dlmsfaeak6h )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have several HD clips which are exactly the same spec and are all blu ray compliant. The are all flagged as 'SR' in the source window onone track. The track setting is 'smart render prioritised'.
BUT when i come to output the project it RE-ENCODES IT all!!!!!!


tkrave  2014-02-25 10:26:46 ( ID:resxbfmz4s2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Might be a bug if you didn't change any track settings, add transition effects or do some other edit.

Question - TMSR4 - How to disable certain clips for output No.68319
KevinM  2014-02-23 04:28:25 ( ID:dlmsfaeak6h )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

How do you disable certain clips from the final output?

Sometimes I revisit a project and only want to smart render one or two clips but not remove those that I dont, but I have to just so they don't get ouputtead again which is very annoying.

Many Thanks


tkrave  2014-02-25 10:23:17 ( ID:resxbfmz4s2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Just delete them and don't save the project file, then you can always reopen the project file and have all your clips. Or delete the clips and save it as a different project file.



Question - TVMW5 BBS - Muxing/Replacing Audio of an MKV (without re-encoding) No.68314
blipton  2014-02-18 14:00:32 ( ID:8avt1zn0ipc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Can VMW5 take an external .ogg audio file, delay it, and mux with it a .mkv file (replacing the existing audio file)?

The audio file is not the same size or nor have the same encoding as the original.



George  2014-02-20 07:27:48 ( ID:2xj.eplz7yk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It can, but it will re-encode both audio and video. You can re-encode the audio to FLAC to avoid quality loss.

Smart Renderer 4 (which does not re-encode) can't do it because it's not compatible with .ogg files.



Question - TVMW5 BBS - VBR Constant quality confusion No.68306
George  2014-02-09 06:16:21 ( ID:2xj.eplz7yk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I am trying to understand how to output using the popular CRF method. MW does not use this. It seems "VBR constant quality" is the same thing, as suggested by an older thread: http://bbs.pegasys-inc.com/bbs/list/lang/en/board/TVMW5/keyword/crf/topic/64203#topic64203

However: the 0-100 quality setting seems to have absolutely no effect on the output's file size. Tried higher and lower settings. Then, there is the strange "maximum bitrate" setting, which doesn't make sense for CRF use, which is supposed to define on its own the needed bitrate, solely based on the quality setting.

I'm not sure what's going on, and wish Pegasys used the well-documented 0-51 CRF output numbers.


George  2014-03-06 09:05:28 ( ID:2xj.eplz7yk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Some more extensive testing reveals that the quality settings does indeed affect output size. Things a bit more clear now.


glenpinn  2014-03-12 18:20:14 ( ID:emkgnpycif2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

hi, yes i agree with you, CRF or RF as i know it can be beneficial, however how do you know which RF quality factor to set for any given input file.

the free handbrake and Xmedia Recode programs are wonderful conversion tools, and both use an RF quality factor mode for setting your output quality, or you can use the Bitrate method, but oddly both those programs use a totally different method to calculate the RF bitrate, so if you encode the same file using the exact same settings, including the same RF quality factor, one will output the file at a much higher bitrate than the other, so this is where you must be very careful using the RF method, you need to know and understand how your given software sets this formula.

i just started using TMPGEnc but only for converting 1080/50p m2ts files from my camera to dvd compliant mpeg2 format so i use a constant bitrate setting of 8.0Mbps.

my regular preferred software is Video ReDo and that has built in quality presets that does the work for you based on pre-determined output quality settings, and thats the way it should be done, not have to guess what bitrate your output file is going to have.

cheers



GaryLeeoz  2020-04-21 15:33:56 ( ID:hczhhoiwjxh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The 0-100 quality setting is a feature that was first introduced in previous (ie. no longer available) TMPGENC products. The value has nothing to do with CRF values. In fact, I only found out about 0-100 from forum posts dated about 2004 when people were still making SVCDs. From what I could make out, 100 is the best, 0 is the worst and 50 is the default. In those days people would try values above 75 but they might end up with bigger than expected files. You just have to try a value and see if you can live with the file size. In the end I just gave up and went back to setting 2-Pass VBR with a bitrate setting ... or I use another tool that accepts CRF



Question - TVMW5 BBS - H.265 HEVC encoding No.68299
Norman Garland  Home )  2014-02-07 00:11:06 ( ID:buat2a0vzkl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

When will H.265 HEVC encoding of 4K media be implemented in Video Mastering Works?


Persen  2014-02-08 22:26:00 ( ID:6tr/46zxmom )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

When that codec becomes standard for home use, which is most likely not to happen within the next couple of years any way.
The current situation is that there is an extreme lack of televisions, videocards and computer screens who actually fully supports it, most computers downscale it any way to 1080p because that is the maximum support they have.


glenpinn  2014-03-12 18:47:21 ( ID:emkgnpycif2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

hi, yes consumer 4k is still way off in the distance, and i predict 4k for home use actually wont ever eventuate in any reality anyway.

look at bluray, i do not know anyone who owns a bluray player, let alone them owning bluray movies.

some people i know still have a 5 year old standard HD tv (1366x768) and still have a dvd player connected to it, and still buy or hire dvd movies.

fact is, a commercial dvd will upscale and play beautifully on a HD tv, even a full HD tv, and while people are happy with this, there is no way they will move on.

now, i am a videographer, i shoot weddings, and i never burn any wedding to bluray disc, because none of my clients want it, for the reason i gave above.

i shoot my videos in 1080/50p avchd (mts) and after editing, i mux the video to 1080/50p in an MP4 container (for better playback support) which doesnt re-encode the video, and the client is given a copy of their video, and the original camera files on a 500gb usb powered portable hdd to play back on their HD tv because al HD tv's now have its own built in media player.

oddly, every now and then a client will ask me to convert the video to dvd for some of their family or friends because they still have older tv's and dvd players to watch the video on.

so, where does all this leave 4k format, well if bluray still has not become mainstream, 4k most definately wont ever become the future standard.

heck, if i thought 4k was going to be the future for consumer use, i would already be shooting weddings on a 4k Black Magic Cinema Camera in very high bitrte ProRes or RawDNG format.

isnt going to happen while people still have dvd players......cheers



Question - TAW5 BBS - Audio from mkv file No.68298
Ricardo  2014-02-06 21:50:20 ( ID:ryd20.wlqqo )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have downloaded the trial version and I want to test it by creating a BD from several mkv files.
The thing is that the files are loaded ok but just the video, the audio part is not recognized as if the file had no audio.
I understand mkv files are supported so why dos this happen?
Thanks a lot.


tkrave  2014-02-07 10:12:10 ( ID:resxbfmz4s2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

MKV is a container format, so while the MKV container is supported, the contents (which can be anything) may not be. The audio may be DTS or something else that isn't supported.


Ricardo  2014-02-07 11:05:31 ( ID:ryd20.wlqqo )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thanks for your answer, just like you said, it's DTS format.
I never thought DTS wouldn't be supported, specially in a BD creator software.
Do you by chance know a way to convert this particular type of audio into another format wich is supported?
Thanks again


Persen  2014-02-08 22:01:54 ( ID:6tr/46zxmom )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Instal Haali Media Spliter and FFDSHOW 32 bit version, then go in to the renderer settings of TAW5 and remove every marker, eccept the one at Direct Show.
That gives DTS support input, but not output though.


George  2014-02-09 06:40:37 ( ID:2xj.eplz7yk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The free and excellent eac3to tool can handle DTS (and DTS-HD MA) conversions beautifully. You will however need to install the proper DTS codec to do it. Check the doom9.org eac3to thread (first post) for more info.
